Of note, Stephen
King’s It is “technically” a summer release, but for “summer-season”
purposes its post-Labor Day theatrical rollout makes it a fall-season
launch.We fully expect it to be
available at retail before Christmas Day.

As to Universal’s Dec. 5
street date for Despicable Me 3, it will be released as 4K Ultra HD/Blu-ray
Combo Pack, Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack and DVD editions on that date.

The ARR is a leisurely
158 days and domestic box office receipts have climbed to a stellar $262.3
million … Illumination and Universal can release Despicable Me sequels
until the cows come home!

Despicable Me 3 comes packed with bonus nuggets beginning with an
all-new mini movie titled The Secret Life of Kyle.There are also a deleted scene, Pharrell
Williams music video, “Yellow Light,” the “Doowit” sing-along, “Minion Moments”
and a collection of Minion wanted posters and mug shots.
